Converts,
Conversion, Convert Stories
from AfricaHow and why people from different religions in
Ghana, Nigeria, and
South Africa in the continent of Africa
converted to the
Iglesia ni Cristo..

The following
are inspiring stories of Iglesia ni Cristo converts from
around the world. Many of these true to life
stories are from many years back but their stories are still
relevant, most particularly, to those who are presently studying the
Iglesia ni Cristo. We hope that by reading
their stories people may come to understand
the workings on "how
God calls people", that is, how God move, draw and
give people the desire to study His words written in the Holy
Bible; and that by these convert stories other people may also be inspired to continue their search for the true Church
of Christ.

The end of my
search for the real and true light.(Life and Priesthood)

Theophilus Darku

Ghana, West Africa and
the U.S.A.

Catholic
(Priest)

Former Religion: On the 27th I went to see Brother Raul Nepumoceno, the
person who was leaving the job I was supposed to take. After
describing everything he asked If I would take it. I told him I
would. Then came the switch. I told him I used to be a Catholic
priest. I told him I just clung to my Jesus—my God and all. Then
came the retort: "Jesus is not God". I said, "Look here, this is
what I have been taught in the Catholic Church and this is what
everybody believes in the Catholic Church.” Then he said, "The
minister of my church can prove to you from the Bible that Jesus
is not God but a mediator.” I told him I could also prove from
the Bible that Jesus is God. So he invited me to visit his
church on Sunday, the 14th of may. . . . . . . Iglesia ni Cristo:
After the worship service I went to see Bro. Rizalino Santos who
was going to give me proofs that Jesus Christ is not god.
At
first I thought I could easily refute his arguments with two
verses from the Bible to show that Jesus is God—Isaiah 9:6 and
John 1:14. However, he took the wind out of my sails when right
at the start he quoted I Cor. 4:6, which admonishes not to go
beyond what is written. How I admire the calmness and dedication
of Bro. Santos that day. I was convinced that Jesus Christ is
not God . He proved it beyond doubt and I was ready to get up
and leave, when he said, "Now let me show you who Jesus Christ
really is, from the Bible.” I was really amazed. My
treasured verse, Isaiah 9:6, couldn’t prove the divinity of
Christ. . . . . . . Convert Story-07

"Why I Joined The Iglesia Ni
Cristo"

Innocent E. Okekeh

Onitsha, Anambra State,
Nigeria

Anglican (Priest)

Former Religion:
when I
began attending the worship services of the Iglesia ni Cristo in places like Sampaloc, Manila, and Cavite. I
did it on my own volition. Nobody in or outside the Philippines
coerced, compelled, or even introduced me to the Iglesia ni Cristo.
. . . . Another reason why I left the Anglican Church is
because of its tolerance to unbiblical practices like divorce,
consecration of women as priest, and same sex marriage. Moreover,
the political problems and dis-unity I observe in my former
church is very discouraging. Iglesia ni Cristo: So, why did I leave my former church and join the
Iglesia ni Cristo? First, I was spiritually convinced that the Iglesia ni Cristo is the only true Church. It does not hide the
truth. It does not add to or subtract teachings from the Bible. It
is not a Church wherein the doctrines and practices are a mixture of
beliefs where anything can go in. The Iglesia ni Cristo is unique,
the only Church I have seen in my life that is biblical. . . . . The Iglesia ni Cristo does not worship idols or
graven images. There is nothing like human tradition imposed in
worship. . . . . One major component of my conversion to the Iglesia ni Cristo is its clear and precise doctrines regarding the
true nature of God and the Lord Jesus Christ. Unlike other churches
that have confusing doctrines such as the Trinity, the Iglesia ni
Cristo upholds these biblical truths. Convert Story-10 Click

My
Transfor-mation"

Kholeka J. Mjele

King William's Town,
South Africa

Methodist (member)

Former
Religion: I was born in 1952 to a devout Methodist
family, and attended the services regularly during my childhood.
It was different in my adulthood, however. When I was living in
Bhisho, the capital of Eastern Cape Province in South Africa, I
was far from the nearest Methodist church and can no longer
attend as often as I wanted to. My job as a nurse meant
irregular shift-work, which further hampered my church
attendances. Iglesia ni Cristo:I was then invited further
by the brethren to attend instruction in biblical doctrines,
which I also accepted, as my curiosity about the Church was
growing. Most of the Bible lessons were new to me, and I never
heard them before. I always carried a pen and paper to write
down notes, and to latter check them in the Bible to see if they
are actually true. . . . I am still in the nursing field, now a
chief professional nurse, in charge of a Primary Health Care
Clinic, catering to the health needs of a large local community.
However, I do not let my work interfere with my spiritual
obligations, as I know that every success I have received is a
blessing from God. . . . . I am now a deaconess in the Church
(the first South African , and in Africa), and my daughter, Namhla, is one of the first South African choir members.Convert Story-12
